"Portrait of Erasmus of Rotterdam" is a prominent painting by the German artist Hans Holbein the Younger, depicting the renowned Renaissance humanist Desiderius Erasmus of Rotterdam. Created in 1523 during Holbein's first stay in England, this work is one of several portraits Holbein made of Erasmus, whom he met in Basel, Switzerland. The painting is celebrated for its fine detail, the lifelike representation of Erasmus, and its subtle commentary on the intellectual spirit of the time.

The portrait shows Erasmus in a three-quarter view, seated at a desk and engaged in writing, a pose that reflects his scholarly pursuits. Holbein's meticulous technique captures the textures of fur, cloth, and paper, as well as the sitter's thoughtful expression, with exceptional realism. The work is also notable for its use of symbolism, including the presence of a shelf with carefully rendered books and a carved wooden panel, which allude to Erasmus's intellectual contributions and his advocacy for education and the study of the classical texts.

Hans Holbein the Younger, known for his remarkable talent in portraiture, was a leading artist of the Northern Renaissance. His ability to convey the character and status of his sitters made him a favorite among the European elite.
